Just swollen between ankle and knee and warm to the touch. he will let me touch his leg and gently rub it.JA: What is the goat's name?Customer: EliJA: Anything else I can tell the Veterinarian before I connect you two?Customer: It doesn't appear broken. Just maybe sprained.JA: I'm sending you to a secure page on JustAnswer so you can place the $5 fully refundable deposit now.

Hello & welcome, I am Dr. B, a licensed veterinarian and I would like to help you today. I do apologize that your question was not answered before. Different experts come online at various times; I just came online, read about your wee one’s situation, and wanted to help.Again I do apologize that my colleagues could not aid you sooner, but can you tell me:How long ago did he injure this leg?Can he put any weight on it? Does the leg hang as if shorter then the other?Does the bone all feel stable (especially where its swollen)?
